Parliament Survey on Women's Health

The survey updates Women's Health Updates for your information 

My additional survey question answer on how valuable was it to have a survey. 

" There is a wealth of data experience among all citizens so it is essential to reach out and collect information so that policies can be made to help wellbeing ...that wellbeing in mind body spirit social economic aspects of life. we need policies that understand needs to enhance support particularly when in vulnerable stages of life." 

But a subnote we need government ministers and departments to learn hear our voices and action .. We need our MPs letters thats contain our voices and concerns to be promptly answered. Our MPs are to respresent and amplify our voices. 

Today the Speaker addressed this point as a number of MPs had expressed frustration that letters not being responded too.. ! 

Open Lab

Well this Monday been very interesting! There was an Open Lab day at Brunel University where we BORG Brunel Older Reference Group members were invited to meet researchers. There are studies we can take part in as researchers investigate the ageing process and how to improve wellbeing. 

The research pieces we looked at and invited to participate were on 1. Reducing Falls Risk through dedicated mental practice. 2. How heat and walking exercise influence blood flow and cardiovascular health. 3.  Research into behavioural changes that may be indicated in early Alzheimer's..  

So a very stimulating day we also had a very interesting talk on early embryonic development and myeloid leukaemia in children ... as a look at other research in action. 

We are so lucky to have Brunel University in our Borough. I personally feel I can reconnect to my academic background as now retired nurse & midwife... 

More beauty on campus
